A new set of wheels.

The first bike I owned was navy blue and very cool. I rode it in Amagansett, Long Island from the house we rented in the summer to the town tennis courts where I had lessons. Like ballet, I was not very good but I did enjoy ordering Fanta orange soda in the glass bottle at the Pro Shop afterwards. I was solo and I loved it.

Bikes have become super fancy these days and although I am sure it's a lot of fun to have all those bells and whistles (okay, gears and comfy seats) I kind of like the idea that a bike can be simple and cost less than 120 bucks. The Schwinn Legacy from Target is such a bicycle.

I don't think this Schwinn would have made the many hills traveled the following summer when my Mother sent me to bike camp in the Vermont mountains. She thought that such an adventure "would beat the Blooomingdale's out of me."

Nice try.
